As of yesterday (May 12) afternoon, it seems like the export for the Vue now includes the data from any expansion circuits connected to the Vue as well.

While you can still kick off the export of the expansion unit from within the app, it spits out the exact same data as that of the main Vue unit (the export file name is the same).

I have two Vue units each with an expansion unit and both are exhibiting the same behavior as described above.

An additional change also seems to be the fact that each of the “main” CT values are also now being reported individually rather than a single value.  In other words, on a single phase system you have two big CTs and now you have values reported for each CT leg/phase.  If you have a three phase system, you will also  have values for the third CT.  This is a good step in my book since it can help you figure out if your circuit breakers are unbalanced….

Do you have hardwired Smoke/CO detectors in your home?  If so, I wouldn’t be surprised if you find that they are on the same circuit as the fridge.

I found this out when I installed my Emporia and found that one of my bedroom circuits had a 78W draw even when everything in the bedroom was off/unplugged.  Things clicked together when I tried to figure out which breaker my smokes were on :-).  Turned off the bedroom breaker and sure enough, my smokes all turned off as well….  From what I gather it is fairly common for the smokes to be wired on a circuit that isn’t likely to be turned off frequently (or ever).  In my case they are on the bedroom circuit since apparently my county requires them to be on an AFCI breaker and the bedroom circuits need to be AFCI as well by code…
